Chaos Pony Legion?

Let's not get too many canters ahead here.

no a doll legion, ponies are their sworn enemies...for whatever reason (I've not thought about that yet)

Amaya wrote:They're too little and young to be involved in the fighting.

Nonsense. They're essentially the scouts of the Pony Legion! Cannon fodder and whatnot.

Hey now, I like the pretty marines, however, they're better played with a blood angels codex.

This is my counts as Blood Angel army.

well...now I have to write a doll vs pony story

The funny thing is I do not recall any MLP Toy comercials during MLP:FIM epasodes, it my my finger on the remote, but I do not recal any.

that and btw

I only saw these episodes of the new on youtube commercial free. So have no idea about the state of it, but the statement was in response to the cartoon being nothing but a 30 minute advert for the toys.

My point was, WAY back in the early 80s. The pony toys existed, but no cartoon. Advertising was done as normal, and the toys sold just fine with no show. So the idea that the show only exists as a commercial for the toys is a bogus arguement.

I approve of this....but you guys do know that if we start a pony thread elsewhere it'd get trolled horribly right?

We should start writing these up..

Did somebody say fighting dolls?

Cutie Mark Crusaders would be like an Apocalypse formation or something wouldn't it?

one of my dolls has a Hinaichigo outfit
though yes the dolls did become popular largely because of that anime

Shadowseer_Kim wrote:Cutie Mark Crusaders would be like an Apocalypse formation or something wouldn't it?

I think they'd just be a unit. None of them are independent characters

We would stand vigilant, would we not?

Some comments on that list though:
- Zecora should be in (psyker?)
- There should be no ParaSprites, nor Ursa Minors (and should there be, they would be something the ponies can hardly control, but just releases upon the enemy)
- The Wonderbolts should be 0-1

I like the rules WarOne and Goddard wrote. Okay, maybe not a -10 on Love and Tolerate.

Hmm... Unicorn Psychic Powers:
Power Grip
This psychic power is used in the shooting phase instead of using a weapon. Choose an enemy vehicle, single model not in a group or independent character within 12". If the psychic test is successful, move that model D6+1 inches in any direction.
(Have seen Twilight do this several times)

Unicorn Beam
This is a psychic shooting attack with the following profile:
Range 18" S 4 Ap 3 Assault 1
(Like what Twilight does to Spikes egg, not quite as much though)

Power Gather
This psychic power can be used in the beginning of every player turn. If the psychic test is successful, the model counts as using power wepons until the end of the turn.
(Sorta like hammerhand, the unicorns gather magic in their horns making them effective weapons - this is supposed to work with that unicorn troop choice)

that ain't gonna happen desu~!

Well we aren't playing the bloody Alice Game here!

Trixie could be an upgrade to a squad of unicorns.
A possible statline.
WS 4 BS 4 T3 (ponies should be relatively tough) S3 W2 (she's special ) I4 LD 8 Sv 6++
She has a retinue of Snips and Snails. Average ponies?
WS 3 BS 3 T3 I3 LD 7 Sv 6++ (they are ponies)
They have the look out! Argh! rule for trixie as they are her very devoted fans.
She has one psychic power
Smoke and Mirrors
She confuses and dazes the enemy with lots of colourful and bright flashes.
This psychic power is used at the start of the psyker's movement phase.
In the turn this psychic power is used, one enemy unit 12" away from Trixie must take a pinning check and shoot using the night fighting rules for the rest of the opponent's shooting phase.
Trixie and any accompaning retinue get a 4+ cover save and defensive grenades for the rest of the turn.

I also think that ponies should be able to do that psychic choir thing like in the IG.
S=number of unicorn ponies in squad AP=D6 Largeblast
Unicorns should also all have psyker master level 1 and force weapons.

Also, Nightmare Moon as the nightbringer.

Proposed Basic Statlines:
Earth Pony WS4 BS3 S4 T3 I3 Ld8 Sv5+ (Tough skinned?)

Unicorn Pony WS4 BS3 S3 T3 I4 Ld8 Sv6++

Pegasus Pony WS3 BS4 S3 T3 I5 Ld8 Sv5++ (dodge save when or when not in combat?)

Unicorns should also all have psyker master level 1 and force weapons.

Master lvl 1, yes, force weapons, I dunno. Power weapons maybe, but I don't feel their horns can rip apart someones soul unless they are seriously charged with magic.

Also, Nightmare Moon as the nightbringer.

A bit like O'Shovah (may ot have any of the other unique characters, except maybe Trixie?), then?

I'd go for Bridle Gossip, myself. Party of One is fantastic, but it requires a bit more back knowledge of Pinkie Pie to really appreciate her going full-on cupcakes.

I'm afraid I can't tell if you're being serious or just poking fun, but I'm always amazed at how seemingly offended people get that other people like this show.

...oh my....

i respectfully will not help plan a pony codex

but if you get it to work ill be impressed.

THEN watch episodes one and two.

Now you've gone and done it. I was all happy with my lazy ignorance, but you had to go and make it all easily accessible and bring me into the herd. Sneaky sneaky

Is it bad that I like being converted?

Good one.

Ooh! I came up with a game! One makes a pony based on a (preferably well-known) comic character, and the other will guess who it is based on! I'll begin:*


*That text is preferably spoken in Pinkie Pie's voice.
